ORLANDO, Fla. - Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined their active duty and Reserve Officer Training Corps brothers and sisters in welcoming tens of thousands of spectators to the Florida Classic, one of the nation’s largest football rivalries between two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University.
In the hours leading to the opening kickoff Nov. 19, 2016, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., the Soldiers helped members from the Army Marketing Research Group encourage BCU and FAMU fans to test their strength, endurance and mental aptitude in various interactive activities featured at the Go Army booths. The troops motivated men and women from all walks of life to set personal records for planks, pullups and pushups. They also lent a hand in several creative challenges that emphasized teamwork and critical thinking.
Many of the thousands of fans who waited for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the troops about their training, experience and aspirations. While these casual conversations opened opportunities to introduce potential recruits to the Army’s robust enlisted and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, they also fostered greater respect and understanding about the Army’s role in developing strong communities and mutually beneficial partnerships both at home and abroad.
The fans’ energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie also demonstrated that the Florida Classic and the U.S. Army share common values. Their sincere interest in learning about the Army’s vision, capabilities and career opportunities exemplified how rivalries on the gridiron can shape resilient individuals who possess the character qualities to lead and mentor men and women on the battlefield.
Several Soldiers received complimentary access to the field during the game. Army Master Sgt. Shantell D. Aviles, noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Office of the Inspector General, 143d ESC, watched many Florida Classic football games during her childhood and teenage years. Although she and her family were no strangers to seeing the game from the stands, Aviles had never before set foot on the sidelines. With a smile never left her face, she took full advantage of the exclusive press pass to take photos with the mascots, shake hands with the drum majors, and cheer her FAMU Rattlers from the endzone.

LAOS fait partie d'une série de 3 paquebots mixtes dits de "type MC" destinés à la ligne du Japon. VIET NAM et LAOS furent commandés aux Chantiers Navals de La Ciotat et CAMBODGE aux Chantiers de France à Dunkerque. Il est à remarquer que LAOS fut le 100ème navire construit par les chantiers de La Ciotat pour la Compagnie.
1952 le 21 décembre: Lancement en présence de S.A.R. le prince Khammao représentant S.M. Sisavong Vong Roi, roi du Laos. La marraine étant Madame Jules Moch. Le Commandant Bergeret étant en charge du navire
CARACTÉRISTIQUES :
Décorateur: Jean Pascaud.
Longueur: 163.60 mHT(1) 162.1 mHT (2) et 148.75 mPP La longueur HT relativement courte du navire était imposée par la nécessité de pouvoir virer de bord à l'arrivée à Saïgon afin de se positionner à quai dans le sens de la descente de la rivière de Saïgon. Il n'y avait pas d'évitage et la largeur de la rivière faisait environ 220 m
Largeur 22m
Jauge brute: 12.200 tjb (1) – 13.162 tjb (2)
Port en lourd: 6.400 t (1) (dont 3.900 t pour les marchandises) – 6.550 tpl (2)
Capacité: 8.780 m3 dont 60m3 pour les frigos.
Déplacement: 15.240 tonnes (1) – 15.150 t (2)
1962: Transformation par la prolongation du pont du gaillard au dessus du panneau de la cale 2, afin de remplacer les rationnaires et les 3èmes classes par 214 couchettes de classe cabine avec salle à manger, bar etc. Installation d'une unité de climatisation plus puissante
Port en lourd: réduit à 5.820 t
Jauge brute : passant à 13.473 tonnes
6 cales. Fermeture par des panneaux Mac Gregor single pull.
16 mâts de charge de 5t
1 bigue de 30 t
1 bigue de 50t
Stabilisateurs: Denny Brown.
PROPULSION :
2 groupes turbines C.E.M. Parsons construits par les Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire.
3 Chaudières Penhoet P41 timbrées à 62 kg/cm²
Production vapeur: 35t/heure – Surchauffe à 480°
Chauffe: Au mazout, avec tirage forcé – réchauffeurs d'aie et économiseur.
Puissance: 24.000 cv aux essais
Vitesse: 23 nœuds aux essais
Puissance d'exploitation: 18.000 cv
Vitesse d'exploitation: 21 nœuds
NB: Avec 2 chaudières puissance disponible 19500 cv. – L'exploitation en marche normale se faisant sur deux chaudières. La troisième chaudière n'étant utilisée qu'en cas de nécessité d'assurer une heure précise d'arrivée (prise du Pilote au Canal de Suez afin d'assurer le passage dès l'arrivée. Au retour, à la sortie du canal pour assurer une arrivée de bonne heure à Marseille. Le navire portant le Pavillon Postal est prioritaire dans tous les ports.
ÉLECTRICITÉ:
4 groupes diesels électriques Shneider de 933 Kw 2 temps, simple effet, à injection mécanique
6 cylindres
1800 cv à 428 t/mn
400v et 50 périodes.
NDLR: Il semblerait que l'adjonction d'un Turbo Alternateur lors des modifications de 1962 (Utilisation en RL ce nous à permis de diminuer la charge des travaux sur les DA) – De même il n'est pas signalé la modification du système de climatisation par la création d'une salle spéciale à Td de la calette entré de la machine.
Distribution:
Force: 280v
Auxiliaire: 380 v
Cuisine: 220 v
Éclairage: 100v (d’où au cours des temps de nombreux bricolages pour l'alimentation des appareils personnels en 220v – radios, tourne disques etc.)
EAU DOUCE:
Capacité en ballasts: 500 tonnes.
Production: 2 bouilleurs Ateliers et Chantiers de Bretagne pouvant fournir 192 t/j d'eau douce!! (La conduite en était délicate et la production de ces bouilleurs HP diminuait très rapidement)
NDLR: Si bien qu'avec une ligne chaude sur l'extrême Orient, la climatisation qui avant 62 était réduite aux 1ères classes, par contre le salon n'était pas climatisé et aux cabines ne s'ouvrant pas sur l'extérieur, ainsi qu'à la salle à manger des Sdes Classes. Les Officiers n'avaient que le carré de climatisé et l'équipage ne disposait d'aucun local climatisé. La consommation d'eau était souvent supérieure à la production. Nous devions embarquer de l'eau dans des pays ou la potabilité de celle-ci était sujette à caution. A Djibouti, l'eau embarquée était saumâtre, ce qui rendait le pastis absolument imbuvable. Aux Indes, elle sentait la vase. Nous étions obligés d'y adjoindre de bonnes doses d'eau de Javel. Quand au manque d'eau, il nous est arrivé d'ajouter de l'eau de mer (puisée au large) dans les ballasts, en évitant qu'elle ait un goût trop prononcé de sel.
La mise en service d'une climatisation plus généreuse fit largement diminuer les consommations d'eau douce. Plus besoin de prendre 5 ou 6 douches par jour au minimum.

PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. – Command Sgt. Maj. Andrew Wynn, Presidio of Monterey Garrison Command Sergeant Major, reads "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back" to a gathering of gleeful preschoolers at the Child Development Center March 10, in honor of the 117th anniversary of Dr. Seuss' birthday. Many parents and Presidio service members and civilians made time to stop by and read to children throughout the week. Wynn, who spent the greater part of the morning at the CDC, was alternately rewarded with peals of laughter and robust singing during his readings. "These kids love these stories; while I’m reading aloud they love reciting the rhymes with me and commenting on the illustrations, so it’s a lot of fun for me too.” Wynn said. The nation's largest reading event, Read Across America month is takes place each year in the month of March, built around the March 2 birthday of popular children’s author Dr. Seuss, otherwise known as Theodor Seuss Geisel.

VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.
Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.
Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.
“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.
Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.
“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”
Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.
“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”

An atempt at making a large (well reasonably) sized Command Wolf. It wasn't very stable and I kinda got bored so gave up with it.

MANGAF, Kuwait - Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined more than 300 service members for a Thanksgiving feast held Nov. 28 at the Hilton Kuwait Resort in Mangaf, Kuwait.
The Association of the United States Army Kuwait Chapter hosted the event with the support of 13 corporate sponsors to include Global International, DynCorp International and United Airlines. In addition to partaking in a catered dinner that included traditional Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing and potatoes as well as honey roasted chicken, lemon pepper tilapia, baked lasagna, fresh fruit and an assortment of desserts, the troops also had the opportunity to explore the resort's rock jetty, lounge along the sandy beach, play a match of volleyball, shop for Christmas gifts at an arts and crafts bizarre and listen to live music by Negligent Discharge, a cover band consisting of service members from Camp Arifjan, Kuwait.
More than a dozen political dignitaries and military officers from Kuwait, Australia, Canada and Great Britain also attended the festivities. Soldiers from the 143d ESC even persuaded Matthew H. Tueller, the U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait, to join them for a group photo before he set out to visit every table to personally thank the troops for their service.
Formed in 2006, the AUSA Kuwait Chapter comprises approximately 250 members and volunteers who advance the interests of the Army. Although the AUSA as a whole primarily focuses on the needs of Soldiers and their families, the Kuwait Chapter also supports every military branch currently deployed to Kuwait in support of Operational Enduring Freedom through morale boosting events and fundraisers.
